“And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: . . .”

And what does it say about children not born beyond the seas but instead were born in the U.S.? Any thing on them in that act? “

I posted the link. Did you not see it?

My argument is that it doesn’t matter what it says. An Act of Congress cannot override an Article of the Constitution. The Act is only useful for the window into the mind of the founders. It cannot redefine Article II.
